Attendees of the Triumph Register of America National Meet will have an opportunity to visit Summit Point Motorsports Park. This event is similar to the Watkins Glen International event at the 2007 Meet in Geneva, New York. The cost is $18 per person.
We will meet at the main spectator entrance, and tour the main track behind a pace car for several laps. Then we will stop at the souvenir shop for a chance to buy mementos of our visit to the track. After that, we will enjoy a lunch outdoors under a canopy. Finally, Bill Scott, track owner and ex-racer, will entertain us with racing stories.
Summit Point Motorsports Park is a road course facility that is used for racing and driver training. It consists of three asphalt/concrete paved circuits; the Main, Jefferson, and Shenandoah circuits. The Main circuit, the one we will be using, opened as Summit Point Raceway in 1970. Summit Point hosts many events each year such as SCCA, NASA, EMRA, and VRG road races, racing driver schools, motorcycle and kart road races, track day events, and Bill Scott’s counter-terrorist drivers’ schools, to name a few. In the past, professional road races like IMSA and Trans-Am were held at Summit Point.
The main circuit consists of ten turns and is 2.0 miles long. A long downhill main straight leads the driver to a sharp right-hand hairpin, the turn 1-2 complex. Then comes a short straight to turn 3, called Wagon Bend, an uphill left hander. After you pop up over a slight crest, you will look down a steep hill at a kink right (4) which leads to a sharp left-hander (5) and the Carousel, the turn 6-7 complex that takes you almost in a complete circle. Turns 8-9 are called the Esses and lead you to an uphill straight under the overpass and to turn 10, a 90° right-hander which lets you onto the main straight.
Bill Scott has owned Summit Point since 1979; however, he started out in Geophysics with a Ph.D. from Yale in 1967. He started racing in a Formula Vee and made it to the SCCA Runoffs. In 1968, Scott won FV road-racing championships in Europe and the US, followed World championships in ’69 and ’70 in Formula Ford and Formula Vee respectively. He won the US Professional Formula Super Vee Championships in ’71 and ’72.
Scott then became a racing team owner, racing school owner, track owner, and counter-terrorist driving school owner, with apple orchard owner thrown in for good measure.
I hope to see some BCFers there!
